    • We loved Tom. He was the envy with his meticulous handy man talents and tools for sure. He was always willing to share his abilities. He was our neighbor and friend for many years. We will remember his kindness. Our prayers are with Pam and his family ❤️

  1. I am deeply saddened to hear this news. My father, Ralph Reitz, loved Tom as his oldest and dearest friend. We have pictures of them together as teenagers. Tom will be missed. I remember skiing with your family as a child. Those were such happy, joyful times. Ralph passed April of 2024. It was very sudden. He found out he had stage four cancer and left us very quickly. It was a shock and my mom could not figure out how to find you. The contact information she had did not work. I’m not gonna lie, my heart is happy for Ralph. I know how he is going to react when he sees Tom. Much love to you Pam and family.

  2. Pam and Nick, I am without words! I am so sad and my heart is broken for you both and your family.i have the fondest.memories of Tom and our time as neighbors. He was a kind and gentleman, always so sweet to my kids. I am truly sorry. Sending much love and prayers for God’s comfort at this difficult time!

  3. We only had the honor of meeting Tom and spending a few times with him. In that short time; however, it was apparent how kind and how amazing he was. His sweet spirit lives on through his children and grandchildren (one of them our sweet daughter-in-law, Lindsay!
